Choose Gelato Flavor Combinations







Think pistachio, think apricot. How about hazelnut, dark chocolate or raspberry? If you are blessed with having a real gelato shop in town, take advantage on those warm spring or blistering hot summer days by paying it a visit. After the amazing pure taste and whipped texture of gelato, it's hard to go back to regular ice cream again. Allowed to choose two flavors in one cup? Here are some tasty combinations. But you can't go wrong because gelato is the real thing.


Instructions


1. Mix bitter and sweet. Tart passionfruit, apricot, mango or raspberry plus dark chocolate or even regular chocolate makes an irresistible twosome.








2. Go for the tangiest plus another fruit, chocolate or nuts. Tangy lemon (it's white in gelato territory) seems to complement just about any other flavor--tart, sweet or nutty. Some swear by it with dark chocolate.


3. Couple nuts with chocolate. Hazelnut or pistachio nudges raspberry chocolate or even cookies and cream for a classic team.


4. Try chocolate gelato combined with mint chip, a favorite on hot days.


5. Mingle berry (blackberry, raspberry, strawberry) with any chocolate or nut gelato. And so the fantastic gelato tasting experiment continues.
